Saturday Night Genealogy Fun- Which Ancestors Would You Like to Talk to?

It's Saturday Night - 

time for more Genealogy Fun! 

Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible music here) is to:

1)  We sometimes find we have questions we would love to discuss with our ancestors - the who, what, when, why and how questions that might help with our genealogy research.

2)  Which ancestors would you like to talk to?  What questions would you ask?  

3)  Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post, or in a post on Facebook.

There are so many ancestors I would love to talk to, but I will only list my top 5 ancestors. 💗


1)  My first choice would be my great-grandmother, Clara Loretta Scott Armstead (1904-1998). I would ask her what her biological mother's name is, the reasoning behind why her brothers were placed in an orphanage, and why her ex-husband, Anthony Tony Armstead, was abusive toward her sons and possibly her.



2)  My second choice would be my paternal grandfather, Fletcher Pearson (1919-1986). I would ask him what his experience in WWII was like and what he did after the war.



3)  My third choice would be my 3rd great-grandmother, Loretta Baker (1854-1900). I would ask her who were her parents, where was she born, and if so, why did she leave her first husband and married another man by the name of George Baker.



4)  My fourth choice would be my great-grandfather, Earnest Rogers (1916-1990). I would ask him what is your biological father's name and how was life living in Alabama during Jim Crow.


5)  My last choice would be my maternal grandfather, Thomas Bernard Armstead (1943-2013). I would ask him, how would you describe your mother and father, how did your parents meet, what was life like living in Brooklyn during the 1940s-early 1960s. 


If only we could go back in time and let them answer our questions-our brick walls would become breakthroughs.
